That's how a Lake Worth woman described a home invasion in which a man burst in with a knife.

It was last Thursday around 7 a.m. when the man pounded on the door of the home on South E Street.

Maily Mejia-Solis said she answered the door thinking it was a customer for the cooking business she runs out of her home. Instead, the man pushed in the door, brandished a knife and threatened to kill her and her three girls, ages 6, 8 and 10.

"I thought he was going to kill us," said 10-year-old Yalmi Solis. "I was scared and I felt like that was the end of the world for me."

The man demanded money, a phone and a car, which Mejia-Solis handed over. She then locked herself and her daughters in the bathroom until the man left.

Jonas Colon, 37, is now accused of the crime. He faces a long list of charges, including home invasion.

The story doesn't end with his arrest, though.

Deputies said later that night, a friend of Colon came to the home and told Mejia-Solis she needed to pay money and drop the charges against Colon or someone would come and hurt her daughters.

Mejia-Solis used a friend's cellphone to record that threat.

Maria Ramon was arrested.

Mejia-Solis said she is looking for a new place to live.
